What on earth do Julian of Norwich and the Buddha have in common? Julian and the Buddha: Common points along the way answers that question. Written by a Zen Buddhist brought up in the Christian tradition, it is the first publication that compares what these two religious figures had to say about the essentials of leading a good life. The remarkable fact is that, despite their different religions and eras, both of them identified ten common keys to full realisation of the Ultimate, and to awaken to life in a fruitful and rewarding way. These ten keys can completely transform our lives if we let them. The reader is guided through each of these keys so that they can come to understand how and why mysticism can be made real in our everyday lives. Using Julian of Norwich and Gautama Buddha as role models, Joanne P. Miller examines how one man and one woman interacted with the Ultimate, and produced practical and authentic outcomes. It presents a new, comparative perspective on the timeless search for and discovery of Truth. While Buddhists and Christians might be on different sections of the highway at times, there are a number of parallel themes and processes that Julian and the Buddha emphasised, which touch a chord in our hearts. In our differences and from our own homes, so to speak, we can appreciate each other as we seek to become true to our chosen paths and to ourselves.
